High School/Youth Ministry

St. John Fisher teens helping families transition from homelessness and set up their new apartments. The teens volunteered with A Hand Up a program with Journey Home, a non-profit in Hartford dedicated to ending homelessness. A Hand Up accepts gently used household items including furniture, linens, dishes, lamps pots pans small appliances and with the help of volunteers delivers them to clients who have secured stable housing. The teen volunteers and their parents helped two families turn their apartments into homes. Logan K., a member of the 10th grade Confirmation Class at St. John Fisher stated, “It was eye opening and made me appreciate what I have. It was great to see the people’s reaction to what we were helping them with.” This marked the first in-person service project allowed since the start of Covid!!
